Bill > HRes418

This resolution requires each Member of the House of Representatives to participate in a "ride-along" with a local law enforcement officer in their congressional district during each term of Congress. A ride-along is specifically defined as serving one full shift in the passenger seat of a law enforcement vehicle, observing the daily work of a local officer. The Committee on House Administration will be responsible for creating regulations to implement this requirement, and the Committee on Ethics will oversee compliance. If a Member fails to complete a ride-along by the specified deadline, the Ethics Committee will publicly list their name on its website and publish their non-compliance in the Congressional Record. The resolution defines "Member of the House of Representatives" broadly to include Delegates and Resident Commissioners, and it will take effect starting with the 118th Congress and continue for subsequent congressional sessions. The purpose appears to be to provide legislators with direct, firsthand experience of law enforcement work in their local communities.
